Abstract:
Adjuvant treatment for patients with stage III colon cancer, one of the most common malignancies, is an important issue in oncology. The use of adjuvant chemotherapy in this setting has undoubtedly improved prognosis. This article describes the development of adjuvant therapy and progress in the past decade as well as failures in multiple agents that have demonstrated efficacy in the metastatic setting. Finally, the current clinical trials will be reviewed, as well as complementary therapies including diet and exercise for survivors of colorectal cancer.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
